Naw- no one living in the "Greatest country on Earth" should ever even have to think about those things, right??

Oh you republicans, fool me once shame on you. I won't take them seriously again until they actually do something. I'm not even holding my breath for tax cuts with McConnell and Ryan driving the clown car

This is probably just so graham and other establishment conservatives can say "See we tried to repeal!"

No, they already had that moment. At this point, it's the true believers keeping this alive.

They don't understand that this is not what Trump won the election on.

I don't think people realize that McCain wasn't the deciding vote. There were many republicans who were against this and would have voted no. But McCain told them to vote yes for it. He was willing to take the fall for them.

Third time the charm?
This has the same problem as the last two attempts--it will throw millions off of the healthcare rolls. So it will most likely face the same opposition it has faced before by the same Republican Senators.

Geesh, what is the definition of insanity again? And will someone please send that definition to the Senate Republicans please? They apparently are very slow learners.

I suppose it could succeed, but there is no charm about it.

I have never been a single-issue voter, but I'll be damned if I will ever throw my support behind anyone who opposes health care for all.

Irony: More will be booted off in GOP states than Dem states.

Why? Because you like having a for-profit company between you and healthcare? Because you are making over $100k/year so a $100/month increase doesn't matter to you? Because you fear that by having a single payer system will mean more people will actually use the medical system rather than avoid it due to insane costs?
